I have tried the 5" White's coil and I liked it but
not as much as the little mini-dd. You fellas have
got me talked into the notion of trying the 5" Excel out, especially you, Monte. If I don't hear from anyone, I'm calling JW tomorrow. (BTW, JW and
KellyCo has admirably, taken care of the Excel.
coil problems.) Best to all and happy hunting,

Warning- the coil cover is from Whites (if I recall) - does not fit well and adds a 1/2 inch or so to the distance between the coil and the surface. I'd wait for a real ExCelerator cover(if they ever get them made). -Gary
 
so I got mine from Kellyco. JW was quick to get it out to me as I was headed out of town. Mine has a "proper" coil cover on it that stays put. I only use coil covers on smaller coils because I don't care for the added weight on larger sizes, and the smaller coils get worked in and around older sites with rocks and sharp building rubble and such.
When you get it hunt a few sites and use the Mini DD and mark a few detected targets . Then mount up the 5" Excelerator and rehunt the site and be sure to compare the responses on the marked targets. I think you'll also be impressed as I was. The 5"? I used last fall worked excellent, and the one I just got with my newer MXT has virtually identical performance.
Since I am also partial to a lighter-colored coil when hight hunting, bushwhacking, ghost towning and most other times, I have an extra appreciation for the Excelerator.
Happy Hunting!

I told ya they'd get it straight. As far as the 5 inch excelerator it is a super little coil. I got out in a junk pile yesterday and played with the modes and settings and found that..... Using relic mode, disc. on 3 , gain at 10, trigger in the center will let you run a smoooth threshold, how ever pushing the trigger forward and the threshold aint so smooth. Also with trigger in center you still hear all the targets just the one below the disc setting have a low tone, with disc at 3 I still got foil. I did notice as advised every single bouncing ID was trash, I got one solid reading of 77-78 which was a 1944 wheat penny about 2 inches down in hard red dirt, it read 4 inches deep. So far I have never dug a coin deeper than the machine shows using the smaller coils, normally they will be about half as deep as they show. And just wondering, I am 36 yrs. young, when did CLOROX containers have METAL tops ?? I dug one out in the yard. A 22 short rifle caisng on the surface showed as 3 inches deep. I dug a rivet off a pair of Levis at 2 inches that showed as 6 inches. This is a great little coil and is awesome at separation just beware most all targets are shallower than they read. Most anything not found at the indicated depth will he a larger hunk of junk.
